Last night, the Commonwealth of Virginia executed Teresa Lewis by lethal injection. Lewis had been convicted of the 2002 murders of her husband and stepson.
As I wrote earlier this week, Lewis didn't pull the trigger. She was involved in the plot, but the actual killings were committed by her co-defendants, Matthew Shallenberger and Rodney Fuller. But Lewis was given a death sentence while the triggermen, Shallenberger and Fuller, got life in prison!
Lewis also had a very low IQ, which added to the controversy surrounding her death sentence.
Now it's over.
Lewis's death will not bring the victims back.
It's not any kind of true justice.
It's just more death.
It solves nothing.
